Pacman

For your pleasure: the arcade classic in all of its retro glory

Pac-Man is an arcade game developed by Namco and licensed for distribution in the U.S. by Bally/Midway, first released in Japan on May 22, 1980. The hero was named "Puckman" evidently due to his shape. Before its release in the United States, the title was changed to "Pac-man" because "Puckman" was an easy target for vandals to convert into a vulgarity. It introduced the yellow hero along with the four monsters.
